If there were ever to be an unofficial CEO (or CEOs) of hip-hop, it would have to be EPMD. Sure the duo's album names (Strictly Business, Unfinished Business, Business as Usual, etc.) factor into the decision, but their resume is the bottom line; it spans 24 years, 7 albums and numerous classics. There's no questioning Erik Sermon and Parrish Smith's impact on the culture, so whenever they make it to town it should be a top priority to pay homage. (J. Min)
